Law Is For Protection Of The People Lyrics

Artist: Bobby Bare
Album: (margie's At) The Lincoln Park Inn

Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk someone said he stumbled and he fellSix squad cars came screamin' to the rescue hauled old Billy Dalton off to jailCause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can seeWe don't need no tramps like Billy Dalton scaring decent folks like you and me no sireeCharlie Watson wandered like a stranger showin' he had no means of supportPoliceman took a look at Charlie's pants cuffs hustled Charlie Watson off to courtCause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can seeWe don't need no bums like Charlie WatsonScaring decent folks like you and me no sireeHomer Lee was nothing but a hippie walking through this world without a careThen one day six strapping brave policemen held down Homer Lee and cut his hairCause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can seeWe don't need no hairy headed hippie scaring decent folks like you and me no sireeSo thank your lucky stars you've got protection walk the line and never mind the costAnd don't wonder who them lawmen were protectingWhen they nailed the Saviour to the crossCause the law is for protection of the people rules're rules and any fool can seeWe don't need no little sneaking prophets scaring decent folks like you and me no siree
